mate why dont you show pics of the front of the rims??? it will clearly show that they are brand new!!! or 1 wk old like you were told, in stead of focusing on the 1 rim???

because brand new rims dont have chunks missing out of any of the 4 rims included in the set of 'new' rims.

wow they look new to me!!!! the other 3 look even better!!! and are imaculate!

yes the insides look like they have been on a car for a week which you were told when you bought them!!!!!!!!!!

i bought my rims second hand, god knows how long they were on the other guys car....and they still have stickers on them.

stickers dont make rims new.

I've had wheels on my car for a year and they are no where as scratched as these koyas! Stop defending ur mate. If he's even ever allowed to sell stuff on here next time...detailed descriptions of damages no matter how small and pics would help and not misleading ppl with the word NEW when they are in fact NOT.

I'd like to see you go to a wheel shop and pay big $$ for brand new wheels and get wheels that have been on someone elses car for a week with scratches and chunks taken off. :mellow:

yeah whatever mate!

He has just offered to refund me 100$ to fix damage to wheels.

did you mention that you have that money now??

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money

you have the money so why are you saying that for????

I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged

there are more photo's - but that web hositing service just told me my account was full. So i can't post any more

what a crock! more like "i dont wanna show the new rims to everyone, just the imperfection from week old rims"!!!

don't forget most minor imperfections are easily fixed by machining, but I definately wouldn't be paying for it out of my pocket!

you have already been compensated for it ffs!!!

However, the point is made that it's CLEARLY not on just one wheel. :mellow:

Probably shoulda taken all the photo's without the flas (like the one below) though, this was the last one - which i went back to get as i figured someone might think, the bad damage to the front and back is only on 1 wheel (Which is still NOT acceptable anyway)

Damage on inside of wheels is on outer sides of rim. Looks like they have all been rubbing on coilovers or something.

How the hell it has been damaged halfway into the wheel i have *NO* idea

White marks on tires is from the tape that he used to package. Not damage to tires.

Pics are in no specific order. Just took random photo's. I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged - the fact is, there is damage. Which is NOT what was said/advertised :mad:

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money - but by the previous post - maybe i should be asking for more money back on this dud sale? (if i get any of it back at all ? )

(1)(the first link in the pics posted) ,hes not gonna show everyone the rims as a set or any of the fronts so anyone who has put there 5c worth in:

have a look at the first pic (1)in the linked pictures and all the rims look like that.....new! apart from the insides which look like they are a week old! and the tyres are brand spanking new with a week wear....and for aruments sake "AS NEW" would have been a better choice of words when selling these rims.

and for petes sake... that camera phone would make any rims look shit!!!

mate seriously who gives a f*ck. new is new & damage is damage. silbeer sold them as per title "Set Of New Gold Koya Drift Tek Rims 17x9 +30 (5 Stud) With New Rubber"

youd expect not a mark for brand new. im sure if you went to buy any other part that was brand new and when it was sent to you was 100% not. you'd pissed too so sit the f*k down and let silbeer explain. he may even have a reason.

i aint taking sides with whos right and wrong with the buyer and seller im telling you to shut up because your "perception" of brand new will start to make other people on the forum stupid

it says new......not brand new! it should read as "AS NEW" NOT EVERYONES PERCEPTION OF NEW IS THE SAME!!! look at the linked pic! (1)

Stay out of it and tell your buddy Silbeer to respond.

The chat stops here, if people continue to stick their noses in, warnings will result

I said ONE was damaged on the front, the others are ALL damaged on the backs.

I was told they where on the car - not that they where DAMAGED on the car (Big difference)

I dont know about YOUR place off residence - but occasionally we do get overcast days. And overcast days do make it sh*t for photo's.

Why did i accept the $100 money offered for compensation? Well - if i'd said - no i'm not happy with that, i want more/all of it back, i probably would have gotten nothing initially.

The ONLY thing that that $100 has paid for is the plane ticket to W.A so this guy can get a better understanding of a new and damaged.

I'm sure that 'silbeer' will read this thread. So, i'll let him know here (Ain't gonna waste more money on a phone call/message)

I want at least 35% of my money back. Which is $420(minus 100$ already given). Alternativly - he can refund my FULL $1320 + return postage (120) (Again, minus the 100$ already given) and i will return the wheels.

Other wise, this matter is not resolved.

I would also like to mention, that some more "reasoning" to him selling me f*Cked wheels, that is 'how do i know i'm not going to drive on them for a week and damage them, so whats the big deal with them being like that now'

LoL. I SERIOUSLY hope noone buys off this chump ever again. As he did happen to send me a photo of 1 or 2 of the wheels b4 i bought them, funnily enough, it's one of the ones you can't see any damage :O

mate do your self a favor and post pics up of the front of the rims!...gutless, but ill tell you what ill do,ill buy the rims of you for what you paid! you can keep the new tyres as you dont have a problem with them because they are new!

these rims were bought for(originally) =$300 dollars each...total $1200

the tyres were bought separatly for =$135 each...............total $540

you paid $1200 for rims and tyres not $1200 for rims lets get that straight so $1200 less- tyres $540 =$660 that is all you paid for the rims! so ill gladly buy them of you for what you paid for the rims $660 ,so sell them to me for what you paid for them $660 fkn bargain! and you have lost nothing

think about it..........post-7327-1161331646.jpg

oh and why havent you asked the freight company about the damage on the out side of the rim????

No, see your missing the point - If this arguing continues the thread will be locked.

The rims were advertised as new.

The buyer agreed to purchase them based on this fact.

The buyer received the rims and they were clearly not new, and had sustained some damage.

How much or how little damage each rim has is completely irrelevant, the wheels arent new.

End of story, now for the last time, keep your nose of this and get your buddy who actually advertised the wheels to come in here and answer for whats happened.

Alternativly - he can refund my FULL $1320 + return postage (120) (Again, minus the 100$ already given) and i will return the wheels.

I will gladly buy the rims and tyres off you - assuming they are still in the same condition as you posted up the pics?

please let me know asap, as I need them pretty soon :)

  • 2 weeks later...

you can buy these rims brand new with brand new tyres $1450 from jax quickfit (i have them on my 33). why bother buying them off some trader on the net, when also when you buy them off a dealer you get a warranty on the rims too?

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
